Irobhothi lasekhaya le-Samsung elisebenzisa ubuhlakani bokwenziwa, i-Ballie, selineminyaka eminingi lingelinye lamaphrojekthi enkampani agqama kakhulu. Nakuba i-Samsung iqhubeka nokusho ukuthi lo mkhiqizo uzokwethulwa maduze, kuze kube manje leli robhothi elincane lisalokhu liwumkhiqizo womqondo.
Nokho, iqoqo lakamuva lemidwebo yomklamo elidaluliwe likhombisa okokuqala ulwazi lwesofthiwe i-Samsung eluhlelele i-Ballie. Imidwebo eminingana yokuqala yokwakheka kwe-UI (isixhumi esibonakalayo somsebenzisi) iveza ukubukeka okujwayelekile kohlelo oluhambisana naleli robhothi le-AI, kodwa igama nesithonjana sohlelo akukacaciswa.
Ngokwemidwebo yomklamo, lolu hlelo alusebenzisi ngokuqondile igama elithi “Ballie”, kodwa lubiza le divayisi ngokuthi “Home Robot (irobhothi lasekhaya)”.
Ikhasi eliyinhloko lohlelo ligxile ekhadini elikhulu lesimo, elibonisa ulwazi oluhlukahlukene mayelana nerobhothi. Phezulu kwesixhumi esibonakalayo kuboniswa izinga lebhethri le-Ballie, indawo elikuyo njengamanje, ngokwesibonelo lisethekwini lokushaja, ekhishini, egumbini lokuphumula noma kwelinye igumbi, kanye nesimo salo samanje, esifana nokuthi “Ready (Selilungile)” noma “Error (Iphutha)”. Ngaphezu kwalokho, phakathi nekhasi kunenkinobho egqamile ethi “Streaming (Ukusakaza)”.
Okwamanje akukacaci ukuthi “Streaming” ihambisana namuphi umsebenzi. Kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi ivumela umsebenzisi ukuthi abuke ukude isithombe esibukhoma sekhamera eyakhelwe ngaphakathi ku-Ballie, ngaleyo ndlela lisebenze nekhamera ehambayo yokuqapha ikhaya.
Empeleni, ikhasi eliyinhloko linamakhadi emisebenzi abizwa ngokuthi “Home Monitor (Ukuqapha Ikhaya)” kanye “Greeting (Ukwamukela)”, okuphinde kukhombise indlela i-Ballie elihlelwe ngayo ukusetshenziswa.
Okuphawulekayo ukuthi imojuli ethi “Greeting” inenkinobho yokuvula nokuvala. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngokuzayo umsebenzisi angase akwazi ukwenza kusebenze umsebenzi wokwamukela izivakashi owenziwe ngokwezifiso. Lapho i-Ballie lithola ukuthi othile ubuyile ekhaya, lingambingelela ngokuzenzakalelayo. Qaphela ukuthi i-Samsung yake yabonisa ikhono le-Ballie lokubona amalungu omndeni nokuxhumana nawo.
Mayelana nokuqapha ikhaya, kubonakala sengathi i-Ballie kufanele lidlule enqubweni yokusetha yokuqala enezinyathelo eziningi.
Ngokwemidwebo yomklamo, leli robhothi lizoqala lihambe ngaphakathi endlini, liskena indawo yasekhaya bese lenza imephu yendlu. Njengoba i-Ballie lifakwe iprojektha eyakhelwe ngaphakathi, lizophinde lifune ngokuzenzakalelayo udonga olufanele ukuphrojeka noma enye indawo eyisicaba, bese ligcina lezi zindawo njengezindawo zokuphrojeka.
I-Samsung yake yathi le projektha ayikwazi ukubonisa kuphela izinhlobo ezahlukene zolwazi, kodwa ingadlala namavidiyo, ibonise okuqukethwe kokuqondisa ukuzivocavoca futhi yenze izingcingo zevidiyo.
Yiqiniso, le midwebo yomklamo ayifakazeli ukuthi inguqulo yokugcina ezokwethulwa izosebenzisa isixhumi esibonakalayo noma imisebenzi efanayo, kodwa iyaqala ukukhombisa umbono ophelele we-Samsung mayelana nolwazi lwesofthiwe ye-Ballie.
Ngokwalokhu okuboniswa yile midwebo, kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi i-Ballie lihlanganiswe ngokujulile nohlelo lwe-Samsung SmartThings lwamadivayisi asekhaya ahlakaniphile, libe yidivayisi eyinhloko yokulawula lonke uhlelo lwasekhaya oluhlakaniphile. Nokho, lokhu kuncike ekutheni leli robhothi ligcine lethuliwe ngokusemthethweni.
